Ts tlie Editor, Sir,—With apology for trespassing on your valuable space, it was with your consent that I publish a few remarks in connection with instruction that is now available at the local Technical School. It must be apparent from advertisements in your columns that a forward move is beiiig made by the organiser (Mr. Reatley); and as one of the instructors I wish to point out to wouldbe students that the accounting class will be conducted on the most up-to-date principles, embracing instruction for intermediate students as follows: The object and value of book-keeping; the form, nature and classification of accounts; tabular and columnar boekkeeping; self-balancing systems; consignment accounts, account sales and accounts current; average due date; partnership, and ail elementary knowledge of executorship and trustee accounts; statements of affairs and deficiency accounts; preparation of accounts from single entry books and conversion of single entry books into double entry; manufacturing, trading, and profit and loss statements of trading concerns and the passing of all entries connected therewith; branch accounts; and a general knowledge of the nature of capital, debentures, stocks, shares, and of company book-keeping. The advanced class embraces other special features as detailed iu the present day examination syllabus, and it is hoped that those desirous of taking advantage of a local course of training will not allow the present chance to pans by.—l am, etc., C.
